Keetsa vs Casper: Mattress Comparison (2023)

Keetsa vs Casper: who makes the best mattress?

In this post, we’re going to help you decide between a Keesta and a Casper by covering:

• Pricing
• Mattress Materials (focusing on how they’re used for comfort and support)
• Warranties and Sleep Trials
• Edge Support

But first, here’s a quick overview of each brand (including our favorite mattress each company makes).

Keetsa vs Casper: An Overview

Both companies use quality materials to make their mattresses (including environmentally friendly foams) and individually wrapped coils.

Keetsa

Keetsa makes six different mattresses, sold at various price points, which means you’re likely to find something you need. It could be the budget, firm mattress (Keetsa Plus), or the luxurious, medium soft mattress with edge support (Keetsa Tea Leaf Dream).

Keetsa has more options than Casper, a longer warranty (12 years compared to Casper’s 10 years), but they also have a less customer-friendly sleep trial (with Keesta, you’re responsible for a 10% processing fee if you decide to exchange or return your Keetsa bed).

Our choice as the best Keesta mattress: Keetsa Tea Leaf Supreme

Here’s why we choose the Keetsa Leaf Supreme:

1. Advanced BioFoam Technology: The Keetsa Leaf Supreme use BioFoam, an exclusive material engineered to provide exceptional pressure relief. With its contouring properties, BioFoam adapts to your body’s unique shape, ensuring optimal support and alleviating any discomfort that may hinder your restful sleep.
2. Unparalleled Motion Isolation: Thanks to its specialized pocketed coil system, each coil independently absorbs motion, effectively isolating it to the specific area of impact. Say goodbye to restless nights and hello to uninterrupted sleep. This makes the Tea Leaf Supreme great for couples.
3. Eco-Friendly Materials: Keetsa’s commitment to sustainability shines through in the Leaf Supreme. This mattress incorporates natural, eco-friendly components such as hemp blend fabric and unbleached organic cotton, reducing your environmental impact while providing a gentle and breathable sleep surface.
4. Targeted Lumbar Support: The Keetsa Leaf Supreme understands the importance of proper spinal alignment for a rejuvenating sleep experience. With its strategically placed lumbar support zone, this mattress promotes a healthy posture, relieving any tension and ensuring a refreshing morning free of aches and pains.
5. Hypoallergenic and Dust Mite Resistant: Allergies and sensitivities can disrupt your sleep quality. The Keetsa Leaf Supreme addresses this issue by featuring a hypoallergenic and dust mite resistant design. The materials used create an inhospitable environment for allergens, allowing you to breathe easily and enjoy a clean and hygienic sleep environment.
6. CertiPUR-US® Certified: Rest easy knowing that the Keetsa Leaf Supreme meets the highest industry standards for safety and environmental responsibility. This mattress is CertiPUR-US® certified, indicating that it is free from harmful substances such as ozone depleters, formaldehyde, and heavy metals, ensuring both your well-being and peace of mind.

Casper

Casper has three mattress models and if you’re a side sleeper (which over 60% of us are) you’re going to really be considering the two more expensive options (the Casper Wave and the Casper Nova).

Our choice for the best Casper mattress: Casper Nova Hybrid

If you’re looking for a top of the line, luxurious model, we’d recommend the Casper Wave. It’s similarly constructed to Keetsa’s most expensive option – the Tea Leaf Dream – but you’re getting some more advanced features.

Note: If you’re interested in learning more about Casper, check out our complete Casper mattress review.

However, if you’re just looking for the best mattress to help you sleep through the night, then it might make more financial sense for you to consider a Keetsa.

Next, we’re going to break down the two brands by pricing, materials, warranties and sleep trials, and edge support.

Pricing

Keetsa Pricing

Keetsa’s six mattresses range in pricing from $490 to $2390.

To get what we think is a quality mattress from Keetsa – in a queen size – you’re going to to spend $990 on a mattress. That’s because the Keetsa Medium-Firm Pillow Plus goes for $990. The Keetsa Pillow Plus has a good amount of memory form for comfort and individually wrapped coils for support.

Casper Pricing

Casper’s four mattress options range in pricing from $595 to $1495, but they’re on average more expensive than Keetsa, especially if you’re looking at King or Queen mattress sizes.

If you’re looking for a quality mattress from Casper – in a queen size – you’ll need to spend around $2,000.

Let’s explain why.

If you wanted Casper’s most affordable mattress you’d get the Casper Original which goes for $1095 (queen-size) and $1295 (king size). But the Casper Original – which is an all-foam 10 inch mattress – is going to be too firm for side sleepers.

So, if you’re a side sleeper at all you’re going to want to pick either a Casper Nova or a Casper Wave.

A Casper Nova will cost you $1995 (queen size) or $2295 (king size) while a Casper Wave will cost you $2595 (queen size) or $2995 (king size).

This means if you want a Casper mattress with advanced features like zoned support, pressure-reliving memory foam, and more, you’re looking to spend about $2,000.

But if you’re looking for a Keesta mattress and want similar features, you will have more options.

Materials

Mattresses are trying to provide comfort and support. Comfort helps you fall asleep, but support helps you stay asleep and, more importantly, wake up without any aches or pains. Plenty of people own comfortable mattresses, sleep throughout the night, but still wake up in pain in the morning. That’s because their bed isn’t supportive.

To get the right mixture of comfort and support, you need to use quality materials in the right order. You can have the best materials in the business but fail to arrange in a way that makes sense.

Keesta and Casper use the main mattress materials: poly foam, memory foam, latex foam, coils.

Let’s take a look at how they use them.

Keetsa Materials

All Keetsa mattresses use CertiPUR-US certified memory foam (with the more expensive Keetsa beds containing more memory foam than the budget options). Memory foam is generally more expensive than poly-foam and even innerspring coils. As bed gets higher in price, you’re likely to see an increase in the amount of memory foam.

Note: If you find a memory foam mattress with 2-4 inches of memory foam that is under $500 in a queen-size mattress, be skeptical. It isn’t that the bed is definitely poor quality, but look for customer reviews and check the warranty information to make sure you’re buying from a reputable company.

Keetsa mattresses also use traditional polyurethane foam (poly-foam) that is more rigid and sturdy than memory foam. All memory foam mattresses are a mixture of memory foam and poly-foam. If you had a 100% memory foam mattress, your body would sink into it and it’d be terrible for back support. Most memory foam mattress companies put memory foam as one of the top two layers because memory foam provides the pressure relief and comfort, while poly-foam provides support and stability.

As a support system, Keesta is either using their high-density support foam (that’s meant to be very sturdy) or their iCoil system of individually wrapped coils. Coils provide more of a bounce, so Keesta uses a pocketed coil to help reduce motion transfer (which is when you feel your partner or sleeping buddy move throughout the night).

Keetsa’s higher-end models also use latex foam. Latex foam is eco-friendly, naturally cooling (it doesn’t trap heat), bouncy, and long-lasting.

Keetsa mattresses are covered in a cotton cover that is certified Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX. Cotton covers are a good choice because cotton is breathable and soft.

Casper Materials

In Casper’s most expensive model – the Casper Wave – they use all major mattress materials: memory foam, latex foam, poly-foam, and individually wrapped coils. Plus, their layer of poly-foam uses gel-pods. A gel-pod is just what it sounds like – a pod-shaped amount of gel that is dispersed throughout the mattress to help with increased support and comfort. This works the way zoned support works, by giving your body more support where people tend to need the most support (shoulders and hips).

In the Casper Nova, there no latex foam and no gel pods. Otherwise, it’s relatively similar to the Casper Wave. The Casper Nova is $1995 for a queen size and is 12 inches thick. Overall, we’re less impressed with the Casper Nova but it can be a good option for customers who want a softer Casper mattress and don’t want latex in their bed.

In the Original Casper, there is no memory foam, latex foam, or gel pods. There is also less of a presence of zoned support, but the middle third of the mattress is still firmer to help with hip support. This entry-level Casper mattress is available both as a hybrid (with coils) or as an all-foam mattress (no coils). Like we said previously if you’re looking for a mattress in this price range (around $1,000) we think you’ll get more from Keesta’s mattress line-up.

Warranties and Sleep Trials

Both Keetsa and Casper offer lengthy warranties, and both are fairly standard. For example, both companies require that you have proof that your mattress was being used on a suitable surface. For example, if you’re using your mattress on an old box spring your warranty might be void. This is because old box springs don’t offer the right support. Most new mattresses now require a flat or nearly flat foundation (with spacing no more than 3 inches apart)

Keetsa’s mattress warranty

Keetsa offers a 12-year mattress warranty on all mattress models.

Here’s what’s covered for those 12 years:

• Open seams that are big enough to cause damage to interior mattress materias (such as Keetsa’s BioFoam or iCoils) and negatively affects the comfort or support of the mattress.
• A permanent sag (often called a compression, dip, or canyon) on the surface of the bed that is greater than 1.5”. Note: 1.5” is a fairly large sag. Most bed in a box mattress companies will offer a replacement for sags greater than ¾ of an inch.
• Coil failure. When a coil fails or is lopsided or loosened, it can lead to sagging. Again, Keetsa requires a 1.5” sag as evidence of coil failure or if the coil somehow protrudes out of the mattress itself.

If any of those issues occur within the first 12 years, you’re covered for either a repair or a complete replacement.

Casper’s mattress warranty

Casper offers a 10-year warranty on all of its mattresses.

Here’s what’s covered in those 10 years.

• When the mattress develops a sag or visible indentation that is greater than 1 inch.
• Physical flaws in the mattress, such as a split in the foam material.
• Defects in the zipper of the mattress cover (as long as it can be attributed to manufacturer error).

Edge Support

Edge support is when the edge of your bed is slightly firmer or more rigid than the rest of your mattress.

There are pros and cons to beds with edge support.

Pros
Plenty of people sit on the edge of their bed in the morning when tying their shoes or getting ready. Edge support prevents them from sinking into their mattress when they sit on the edge.
Some customers like the enclosed feeling of a bed with edge support, because they’re worried without edge support they’ll roll out of their mattress.

Cons
Some sleepers sleep on the very edge of their bed. This is specifically common with side sleepers. If you’re sleeping on the edge of your bed and your mattress has edge support, it may feel like you’re sleeping on a bed that’s firmer than the one you bought.

Keetsa

The Keetsa mattresses have a good amount of edge support, but their mattress with the most edge support is the Keetsa Tea Leaf Classic.

Here’s a full breakdown of how all their mattresses rate when it comes to edge support, ranging from most to least:

1. Keetsa Tea Leaf Classic:
   • The Tea Leaf Classic mattress features reinforced edge support, providing solid support along the perimeter of the mattress. This ensures consistent support and stability, even when sitting or sleeping near the edges.
2. Keetsa Tea Leaf Dream:
   • The Tea Leaf Dream mattress also incorporates reinforced edge support to maintain stability and prevent excessive sinkage along the edges. It offers a supportive edge for sitting or sleeping, extending the usable surface area of the mattress.
3. Keetsa Tea Leaf Supreme:
   • The Tea Leaf Supreme mattress provides moderate edge support. While it may not have the same reinforced edge support as the Tea Leaf Classic or Dream, it still offers decent stability and support near the edges.
4. Keetsa Tea Leaf Contoura:
   • The Tea Leaf Contoura mattress has a balanced edge support system that offers good support along the perimeter. While it may not have as much reinforced edge support as the Tea Leaf Classic or Dream, it provides adequate stability for most sleepers.
5. Keetsa Cloud:
   • The Keetsa Cloud mattress has a softer and more plush feel, which may result in slightly less edge support compared to the other models. While it still provides support near the edges, it may exhibit slightly more sinkage when sitting or sleeping on the edge.

Casper

With Casper, you’ll get more edge support out of the Casper Wave and Nova vs. the Casper Original but none of their beds are specifically built for edge support.

Again, edge support is a neutral feature – neither bad nor good, but up to each customer’s personal preference.

Here’s a breakdown of Casper’s mattress collection in terms of edge support, ranging from most to least:

1. Casper Wave Hybrid:
   • The Casper Wave Hybrid mattress is designed with enhanced edge support. It features reinforced coils and a sturdy construction to provide excellent support and minimize sinkage along the edges. This ensures a solid and stable feel across the entire surface of the mattress.
2. Casper Nova Hybrid:
   • The Casper Nova Hybrid mattress offers good edge support, though not as robust as the Wave Hybrid. It provides a balanced level of support along the perimeter, allowing for comfortable sitting or sleeping near the edges without significant sinkage.
3. Casper Original:
   • The Casper Original mattress provides decent edge support. While it may not have the same level of reinforcement as the Wave Hybrid or Nova Hybrid, it still offers satisfactory stability and support near the edges.
4. Casper Element:
   • The Casper Element mattress provides basic edge support. While it offers some level of support along the perimeter, it may exhibit more sinkage and less stability compared to the other Casper models.

It’s important to note that while the Casper Wave Hybrid and Nova Hybrid offer stronger edge support, all Casper mattresses are designed to provide a consistent level of support and comfort across the entire sleeping surface.

Are You Going to Get a Keetsa or Casper?

We hope this Keetsa and Casper comparison helped you decide.

When you’re mattress shopping, remember that what you’re looking at is the quality of materials, the ways in which the mattress uses the materials, and how the company’s policies help or hurt you after you decide to buy.
